Kevin's PR was merged: Python/dynload_aix.c was removed by https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/1dd6d956a3ddf2cf6d4a69241dba8cd1379421b9 As Brett said, there is no need to update the PEP 11.

I updated https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html to move the sys.platform and os.name table at the end to avoid confusion. I also replaced "AIX" with "AIX 6". I wrote this page to help me track which platforms are supported or not, since there is no clear summary of what is supported or not. Only scattered information, sometimes referencing to OS lifecycle that I fail to track. AIX is listed in "Supported platform with best effort support". In short, if someone provides a patch, maybe someone will review and merge it. But there is no willingness to actively support AIX for now, at least from core developers. There are two AIX buildbots which are frequently broken. I'm reporting issues but no one fixes them. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
